Key Club is a service organization for Inigh school students. It operates under school regulations and draws its membership from the student body. The Key Club is uniquely different from other organiza- tions in many ways. First, Key Club is unique because it is sponsored by a local Kiwanis Club composed of the leading business and professional men of the communily. The Kiwanis Club of La Canada — Flint- ridge sponsors the LCHS Chapter of Key Club. Secondly, Key Club is unique for its aim in the devel- opment of initiative leadership ability, and good citizenship practices. Thirdly, Key Club is unique be- cause it is not solely on the local level. There is a District and an International level which are highly developed and uniquely structured, and provide Key Clubbers the opportunity to relate to teenagers from all across the North American Continent. Lastly, Key Club is the largest service organization of its kind in the world with over 95,000 members and some 3,400 clubs. 231

The Keywanettes, a community service group orgonized by our high school girls, has accomplished much this year. They ore a sub-unit of the Kiwanis Club of La Canada and therefore, use the Kiwanis meetings os fundraisers by selling coffee and snacks. Around Thanksgiving they make chocolate turkey suckers and at Valentine ' s Day candy heart candy grams — each which cre- ate big sales among our students. During the Christmas season the Keywanettes caroled at the Montrose Retirement Home and sang with the newly organized Key Club at the Kiwanis Christmas Meet- ing. Our girls also collected clothes and made Christmas dinner for two needy families! One of the Keywanettes ' greatest accomplish- ments is supporting an Indian girl in North Dakota year round. After all their hard work, these girls finally get to treat themselves to skiing end beach trips a couple of times a year. ' Sg ' ' fs 230
